Engineers meet
IEEE Engineers and Students: Millions of Jobs and Opportunities have been stolen from our Members. Our PACE will begin a series of ENGINEERS MEETINGS to Increase participation in fighting the elimination of the H-1B Programs that destroy Opportunities, Jobs for American workers. Since 1990 this H-1B legislation has destroyed opportunities for our Members and has had a detrimental effect on salaries. H-1B is a Wage Busting program. Takes jobs from American workers and has them train their replacements. See About the Meeting
We are joining forces with the AEA and inviting Engineers from the other Engineering groups to join us. We are speaking about the loss of mega million man years of jobs and opportunities
We also need to bring jobs back to New Jersey. We would like your opinion. This should be a great meeting. ASME, AICHE, ASCE, etc. Members are all invited. Open to the public.
